Anyone has experience with Moringa?

Found a new tea at Tuesday Morning and wished I'd bought all they had as it's no longer in stock. Tea is mixture of ginger, moringa, hibiscus etc. Reading on moringa--it seems a great food source in many forms. Its leaves, seed pods, and root are eaten in SE Asian cuisine. Can anyone on here tell me what the leaves in particular taste like? Thanks ahead of time.

    Patricia - I'm glad you found a new tea you love! Fresh moringa leaves taste kind of like arugula: they have a little peppery-spiciness to them. When dried and ground, moringa leaf powder tastes somewhat like matcha: very grassy, with a touch of bitterness. We haven't spent much time with moringa in our development kitchen, so this is just speaking from personal experience - but I hope it helps! - April D.
